Are you familiar with the artist H R Giger, who designed the alien world n the movie alien….this is the design
Sorry, text not working…this is his design aesthetic
@user-rh9cx1vm7u ya... it's on purpose
It looks like a space shrimp designed by H. R. Giger.
Someone might say "shrimp" or "plate of shrimp" right out of the blue.
That is a gas station I would go to any day, if they had knives like that.
A couple things:
A) No more energy drinks for Momplex
2) Holy CRAP that is GORGEOUS
D) The timing of this against the Narrows vid is amazing
No, feed him *more* energy drinks! I want to see what happens!
The most expensive variant of this is SET is $450. Meanwhile Benchmades dumpster fire errr Narrows is $580. That’s truly hysterical.
Idk it makes sense to me if you understand how china devalues it's currency intentionally so their businesses can exploit the exchange rate with foreign sales to increase their GDP, they just undercut the market to get the sale and make massive profit off. Probably more profit than the narrows. I'm not justifying the Benchmade though they have always been a bit disconnected with their pricing in my opinion.
Almost like one is made in china with a 1% labor cost.
@@SuperSteelSteve 1%. Nice hyperbole. Still doesn’t explain the Narrows being $580 even with it made in America. If you can’t find an American made knife with as good or better materials for far less then maybe we should all chip in and buy you a helmet.
@joelamaro4525
Do you know anyone that has work OEMd in china? Because I do, personally.
1% is not hyperbole my low IQ friend.
Secondly, can you give me even 1 verifiable cost for benchmade? Do you know ANY production costs? Even 1?
That's what I thought.
I get it, public education failed you... hard.
But, you have access to massive amounts of information at your fingertips, I suggest you start using it.
Also, what's it like having an inanimate object living rent free in your head? Asking for a friend
Are we to assume you don’t understand one was made under slave/near slave labor and another was produced in America with someone making $25-$30/hr. BM actually using steels from crucible/Bohler and not just making it themselves. Glad you can feel good with your cheap Chinese knife and scoff at American made. It’s honestly pathetic at this point. The thing is I think you probably do know better… the knife community is basically 95% American men 18-35 and every single video is bashing USA made companies…
Legends tell of a gas station knife with immense divine power. They say that whoever pulls it from its counter display case is destined to rule the kingdom of Exxon with a a just hand and lead her Mall Ninja armies to countless victories across the land.
You truly paint a picture.😂
This is the knife that you don't let anyone know about until you're at that fancy steakhouse, where you nonchalantly whip it out and begin carving the Tomahawk Ribeye on your plate.
"Oh this? Just a little something that I picked up at Buc-ee's. You like it?"
Not my personal style, but you can’t deny the craftsmanship and engineering that it takes to pull this off! Definitely knife art. 👍🏼
I absolutely fell in love with Rike when they released the Alien 4 back in 2020 or so, and the Thor & 1508s were amazing also. I'm glad they are still making it. Top tier machining
Dude I swear Rike knife is just a relocation program for all the wizards and mages hidden in the world and they just make all this stuff with actual magic. 😅
This looks like an Alien knife in the best way possible.
Going to have to get this for my Klingon friend
I love it when MC is left utterly speechless by a specimen like this!! This is one gorgeous detailed knife!
No one beats Rike's machining
Geiger would be pleased.
Yes. *Giger
4200+ uploads and can STILL get excited about something really out there. You da man!
This thing is sold out everywhere. I just got the Lamella about a month ago and the overall build guality and action is excellent. The design of this is actually very similar to the lamella, except with an Alien vibe to it and that awesome looking polished damasteel!
Done in H. R. Giger Alien Art Style.
Absolutely nothing "Gas Station Knife" about it. That's actually an insult.
This is the first damasteel I've ever seen. Damascus blades look filthy to my eyes. This is just BEAUTIFUL! like something the Predator would slip into his dinner. Very cool!
I managed to pick one of these up at blade show for only $380! Definitely one of the coolest things I own! Also, what I was told, is the tool has a pry bar, bottle opener, glass breaker, and of course bit driver. They did have pens but those all sold out pretty quickly!
LMFAO this video existing aligns perfectly with a comment you made to me on TikTok either last night or this morning about doing things your own way. Love it, keep it coming.
Geiger guys going wild
It looks cool in a particular "Alien v.s. Predator" way , but I would never buy something I'm not actually going to carry and use.
If you like it but want something more practical, the new lamella is amazing. They dont have a weird disassembly mechanism that is unsafe anymore. There is a switch on the back that you flip and thats it.
5:12 MC turns into “double rainbow guy” lol
That blade finish is incredible.
It almost looks like a replaceable blade the way it's held in.
I could see why many wouldn't like the aesthetic, but man, this thing just screams quality with the materials, fit, and finish! Insane!
I appreciate the link! It was sold out already. But the new updated lamella was just sitting there! And in DLC! Thanks!
It looks like something Warf from Star Trek would carry. And that's not a bad thing.
The blade alone is unbelievable. Dami Steel Damascus tooo sweet.
Its almost sold out boys, better snatch one up now
Hey MC, you reviewed the Alien 1 5 months ago. Alien 4 is beautiful imo. Titanium blade carrier is a cool touch. The Lamella uses the same basic design, length and shape are identical. Love my Alien 4, I tried to tell you about this knife about 4 years ago and then again when your Lamella review came out. The Alien 4 came out in 2020 I believe. The Alien 1 and 2 are all completely different designs, one of them is a Karambit (Alien 2) and another resembles a folding utility knife (Alien 1) not sure Alien 3 even exists I've never seen one listed anywhere. The Alien 4 comes standard with Damasteel. The 4 is by far the coolest. Weighs about half what the Lamella does, between the super thin blade stock, titanium blade carrier, and the heavily skeletonized handle, it's a feather weight. They make a timascus version with a blue ball bearing damascus blade, it's like $3,000. That blue damascus has a name but I can't remember it, think it's Dragon scale damascus or somting similar. Richard Wu owns Rike.
DUDE!!! I HAVENT BEEN THIS EXCITED ABOUT A KNIFE! Your reaction reminded me of the scene in fight club where Ed Norton blows his jaw off lmfao. I'm buying it!
Gone! 😢 I was expecting it to cost quite a bit more… not sure if more will be made.
Rike has a lot of insect like design's, pretty sure Richard Wu is a beekeeper as a hobby.
Elijah Isham designing knives from beyond the grave
Been hoping to see this one come across your desk. I dont think anyone who eants to call it a gas station knife could say that if they were holding it in their hands seeing it in person. Such a crazy flex from rike
It didn't do anything for me, but I enjoyed what it did for you. 😊
Too cool. And no excessive Damasteel tax is even more impressive!
Would love to see what's going inside that pivot assembly.
Glad you told us the difference between Damasteel and gas station Damascus again, I had totally forgotten 😅
I’ve got one of these bad boys and man is it cool! It’s extremely lightweight too! It’s like they took the lamella into the alien universe and this came back out
The blade looks like you can change it out as easily as a utility knife. It my also have a box set of all the blade steels they have so you could have a every day blade. Which would be totally bad ass, and a first in the knife world.
Of course it it sold out. MC is right, thought. . You should respect the art because that was a lot of work and beautiful.
I’m right there with you, I don’t care for any of the individual design aspects of the knife, blade shape, skeletonization, flipper, size, Damascus, etc, but I really like this knife!
„As the title suggests…“ no, not this time my friend 😆
I own this knife and always wondered if it's Damasteel or normal damascus, thanks for clearing that up! Although I still can't find anywhere that says which specific Damasteel (pattern and composition) it is... hope Rike could clear it up?
One other thing is I absolutely love this knife's hydrolic feeling when you open it, unbelievably smooth!
Yeah I agree, wish I knew the pattern as well cause it’s gorgeous, but as a person who has held many knives with Damasteel, mine looks a lot more like Damasteel than any 9-10cr Damascus you’d find on budget knives like Kansept or Artisan.
You sounded like Mickey after opening that! 🤣 Yea that's spectacular! I have 2 Hummingbirds & I adore them! Need all of them!! Thanks MC!
Gas station knife, except HIGHLY polished damasteel. Pretty sure that handle is cast/bead-blasted. Very cool looking knife! The tactical tool doesn't have Tritium inserts.
Not cast. Confirmed milled 👍
@@metal_complex WOW! Must be expensive!
This is a knife where the cutting edge is going to be double the blade length 😂 and don’t forget “ Andre De Villiers Knives Production Alien Flipper Knife 3.375" Replaceable M390 Blade with Gray Frame, Gray Integral Milled Titanium Handle, Frame Lock”
Just bought one. That value is too insane to pass up.
Two questions...1: How thick is the blade stock (because it looks exceptionally thin)? and what is the process to make Damascus both mirror polished and with visible patterning? It seems like these two attributes are diametrically opposed.
MC needs to check out the Rike Thor6!
Hell yeah. I don't think rike makes a bad knife
No thanks.
Respect says it all.
Knife reminds me of the ADV Scavenger.
BladeHQ gets the steel wrong all the time. It’s crazy. I got a knife That was listed and priced as 154cm but I knew it was 20cv.
There is a blue Damascus and Timascus version also for around $3k, maybe BHQ confused the blade steel on the 2 versions.
If Predator had a pocket knife this would be it, I need this knife.
I'm a HUGE hr Geiger fan. Love the included tool. Wish the blade had less of a swoop but I'd still buy it
Also just to add...the blade obviously connected to rest of knife matches things like predators assembling weapons from dead alien parts. I have a cheapo pen with identical small driver system. This looks like alien finger. Usually I don't like sets cause they are cash grabs but this set is perfect
I have 2 of the Alien 4 knives and my numbers are low. They came out in 2019
Rike makes a great knife
Mentioning the number of uploads needs to be on a drinking game for this channel.
I luv mine and got it awhile ago.....Rike with many milestones...
That knife is SICK! Is it from another galaxy?
One of the coolest knives I own
Thanks for displaying this knife. Folding knives are not high on my list, but this one appears exceptional.
Darn you, stop corrupting me. 😂
Purchased. 😊
That’s a truck stop knife for sure. It reminds me of some knives you see from Maxace.
Ahhh to be new again. Those were the days.
Don't lose the bit!
It unfortunately looks like you can not buy the bit driver separately. But they DO have a matching ink pen design on severalfinishes
Aliexpress have Rike screw driver in like $95
It's a gas station knife like H.R.Giger is Bob Ross. Same thing right?
Looks like you can buy with tool OR pen. Only tool is available now.
Kinda reminds me of a Ferrum Forge makers choice. Pretty wild
I can really appreciate the work that went into making this. I'm not sure I would buy one. All of my knives are users, this one I would not use.
Very reminiscent, to me, of an Isham design(RIP)
Aesthetically I hate it, but I can't help but be impressed by construction, on a purely technical level.
Holy crap indeed. I dig it
Happy Father's Day
Not for me.
Does it stab well and is the blade stable. Will the blade snap under pressure. Can you mentioned that in videos too plz?
Yes and no. The reason I don't mention these things is because the vast majority of my audience knows already
@@metal_complex Well, I am new to stabby things. That would be kinda helpful 🙂. Guess I just look at the pretty blades then 😀
It doesn't even look like it was made by human beings. Not a big fan of Persian blades either, the only one in my collection is a a ZT 0462 but damn is that Alien 4 incredible looking.
It looks like it was designed by H.R. Giger.
I have #177. I didn’t know the pen thingy was a bit tool😂. Thought it was a defense tool🤷♂️
Both!
That's the knife that Mellissa Backwoods gave you a shout out for in her Blade Show Weird Knives video
She did? I didn't know that!
Anybody know if this is actually Xenomorph inspired? Sure looks like it, in the best way possible may I add.
Yes, it is based on the HR Giger Alien art work.
I f#$%ing hate it. Now GIVE IT TO ME!!!!!!
Straight out of Area 51
This reminds me of Katsu.
I was expecting the price to be about 3X what they are listing it for.
Designed by HR Giger and forged on LV-246.
Bought!
There are two types of knife people - ones that absolutely hate this and ones that absolutely love this. This is one of the ugliest knives I’ve seen 😅
Love it thanks for waiting to unbox it with us. Also not exactly my style but I literally love everything they do. In fact, some of my absolute fav knives in my collection are Rike. I get in arguments all the time with people that trash Chinese knives makers and while I love and own many American made knives, I 100% think that Rike are as good or better than any of the American companies and I will die on that hill. Bravo again Rike,please keep showing off…I love watching Metal get his face blown off ;-)
For me? Not so much.
Amazing? Pffhhhhhhhhjh, yup.
I may be a hobbiest and not an enthusiast?
I'm here for all of it though.
Not my style but I get it.
It looks like a prawn.
I hate it.
It’s pretty for sure. Not my style but I would happily display it.
Badass knife for sure. Been waiting for this one to get to MC. Guess you know they've done something right when your not a fan of the style but it's so exquisite would still display it cheers brother
H.R. Geiger inspired.
Jim Skelton, a dear fellow TH-camr, called into question if this was actual Damasteel(TM). I hope he doesn't mind me quoting him on this...
What else should it be?
No idea. Would be interesting to see a material test to determine the composition.
Melissa Miller bought this from Blade Show 2024. Old news!! Jusss sayin ❤
Guess who told her to do it and showed it on various social platforms over a week ago?
This guy 😎
Haven't you handles this blade before?
Nope
